It was once believed that the nebulosity within the Pleiades cluster was the original one from which it had formed. But because of very detailed long exposures like this, we now know that it is a completely different nebula that the cluster is merely passing through.

An 18 hour exposure. That’s a LOT of data… I wonder just how many gigabytes.
